Persons designated by resolution as code enforcement officers
of the Township are authorized to enter upon and inspect cannabis
facilities, premises and properties subject to this chapter to ensure
compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Reasonable advance
notice of any such entry and inspection shall be provided and, before
entry, consent shall be obtained, in writing, from the owner or other
person, firm, corporation or other entity in lawful possession of
the cannabis facilities, premises and/or property. If consent cannot
for any reason be obtained, an inspection warrant shall be obtained
from the Municipal Court prior to any such entry and inspection. In
those cases where consent is denied, the Township may seek to recover
the costs it incurs in obtaining a warrant from the property owner
and/or person, firm, corporation or other entity in lawful possession
of the property.
Unless otherwise provided, any person, firm, corporation or
other entity aggrieved by the final determination of the Township
Council may seek relief therefrom in any court of competent jurisdiction,
as provided by the laws of the State of New Jersey.
